      Hey JC, I will share this with Game Salute. My packages had no packing material, but the boxes were full.

      I hate to go against the crowd but although I love the project and end-game I was totally disappointed to see my package wrapped in the most anti-environmental material that exist...Come on, Styrofoam!!!, who uses it in 2013 knowing that that it is non biodegradable, plastic that will stay on earth for many years....great legacy to our children...but there is a chance that some of you will find recycle companies that accept Styrofoam as a recyclable item...

      Hello Robert,

      our copy of Cartoona arrived today in Germany. Thank you very very much for this great Kickstarter, the build quality is simply amazing. Can't wait to try it out later this week. (Sadly due to my job I won't have time today.)

      It is all good, Robert. You did a great job for one man and I hope you do something else in the future. I can't wait to get the games next week and play with with my family. Big love to you for caring about quality and your customers. I am sure Cartoona will be of the highest quality.

      @Clare Although I wish my company was as big a CoolMiniOrNot, it is not. You can do a lot pretty quickly when a project raises $1MM. I am just one guy, and this was my first project. I am sorry for the delays, but I think you'll be very happy when the game arrives at your door. Much of the delay was because we switched manufacturers to make sure it is of the highest quality, we also packed it with upgrades (thicker box, larger box, thicker tiles, etc)
      The final game is a $45 game based on the size and quality. I am very sorry all this took so long, but it will be worth the wait, I promise that.

      The games should be in the port of NY any day, then customs, then to the warehouse, then we will be shipping them all out.

      Those who pledged for Long Necks will be the first to get it. Anyone who got the complete Heads on Tails will be able to get Long Necks shortly after. A month after that Long Necks and Heads on Tails will be available to the general public as a set.

    17. Missing_small

      Creator Jon Bradford on December 6

      Just looked at the "Battle For Souls" project, and seen that the complete pack comes with the Catoona expansions box set, which appears to contain both Heads on Tails AND Long Necks. Where does that leave us backers of your original project, we're just getting the Heads on Tails expansion and it appears there is no way for us to get the Long Necks expansion now on its own.

      Creator Robert Burke on November 21

      I hope to post a proper update soon. I hate to keep giving solid dates that are missed. But the games are being manufactured right now and we have been given a finish date of December 21st. But remember we still have to get them stateside on a cargo ship. Then we have to pack them up and ship them out. Unfortunately, our goal of having them out to you by Christmas won't be possible.

      Hello Brad, I just got the following from the manufacturer (GPI) this morning:

      We are all set. I am working on the color separations now. I should be sending samples for approval in about a week. Once they are approved then we can start production.

      Once production starts it's 45 days. Then they need to ship to the states.

      Creator Robert Burke on August 15, 2012

      Thanks Brian. I have learned a lot this time around, that's for sure.

      The game is costing well in excess of what we raised on Kickstarter, but Game Salute is kicking in the rest to make the game as high-quality as possible. The MSRP will need to increase a bit, and profit will all depend on how good it sells when it's on store shelves. So if you love it, play it with others! :-)

      Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks once you start playing!

      I would much rather wait to get a better product. Thank you for caring about quality!! I hope you still make money on the KS project, and a lot more from whoever buys it outside of KS. I can't wait to play this with my wife and sons. This game is going to be good times!!

      Hello Ceric, it is not the original wood prototype tiles. It is a signed prototype card that comes at the $30 level. And the Long Necks expansion is only available the pledges of $55 and up.

      Creator Ceric on April 1, 2012

      I think I missed it but I have one of the $30 signed Prototype slots. I hope its the wood block prototypes, anyway, I was wondering if I could add the expansion to that package?
